Verse 9 is found in chapter 25 of 2 Kings. Nebuzaradan arrives in Jerusalem and burns the temple, palace, and principal houses of the city. The walls are demolished and much of the population is deported. The burning of the temple is one of the most theologically painful moments in the book: the central place of Israelite worship is destroyed. The narrative does not present the building as magical protection against judgment. Its destruction demonstrates that the temple’s presence could not substitute for covenant obedience. Jerusalem is physically dismantled and socially emptied.

und verbrannte das Haus des HERRN und das Haus des Königs und alle Häuser zu Jerusalem; alle großen Häuser verbrannte er mit Feuer.
Y quemó la casa de Jehová, y la casa del rey, y todas las casas de Jerusalem; y todas las casas de los príncipes quemó a fuego.
Quemó la casa de Jehová, el palacio del rey y todas las casas de Jerusalén; incendió todas las casas grandes.
Il brûla la maison de l'Eternel, la maison du roi, et toutes les maisons de Jérusalem; il livra au feu toutes les maisons de quelque importance.
Ed arse la Casa del Signore, e la casa del re, e tutte le altre case di Gerusalemme; in somma, egli arse col fuoco tutte le case grandi.
E queimou a casa do SENHOR e a casa do rei, como também todas as casas de Jerusalém, e todas as casas dos grandes queimou.
他焚燒了耶和華的殿、王宮和 耶路撒冷 一切的房屋;用火焚燒所有大戶人家的房屋。
